Driving into work last week, arrived realised the engine was making a duh - duh - duh - duh - duh noise. It starts and runs but the noise is apparent on applying some revs or on the 'over-run'. Oil pressure is OK but I though that only normally goes along with a main bearing. The engine certainly was pretty loose and noisier than my older 9000 to begin with. Graham
